SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MASS CUSTOM MANUFACTURING OF DENTAL CROWNS AND CROWN COMPONENTS

摘要

A Mass Custom Manufacturing System and methods are provided. A single master file is created for a restoration (or multiple restorations for a single patient) from a scan. Copings/cores, abutments and other companion pieces are designed using the master file through a deconstruction method allowing for simultaneous CAM of those pieces. A centralized system controls design and manufacturing, allowing the system to “learn” from feedback from the CAM operations of prior pieces and incorporate such feedback into the design phase.

主权项

1. A method of Mass Custom Manufacturing of dental crowns and crown components comprising the steps of:
obtaining digital file information of a dental condition representative of the condition of a patient's mouth; creating automatically a master electronic file based upon the information, the master electronic file including a virtual model and a virtual final external shape of an ideal tooth of a restoration within the virtual model for the patient; deconstructing from the master file to design two or more components of the restoration.
